After arranging these matters, Xiao Xue left with her Cheap older brother and Xun'er.
As for Xiao Yi Xian, she went to the small courtyard Xiao Xue had arranged for her, to enter seclusion and refine the brand poison.
Xiao Xue called Xiao Yan because she had something for him, and Xiao Xun Er followed on her own accord.
Xiao Xun Er inwardly expressed strong dissatisfaction that Xiao Xue sought out Xiao Yan alone as soon as she returned.
However, she showed no abnormalities on the surface, instead intimately holding Xiao Xue's arm as usual.
Xiao Xun Er: Stare—
Xiao Yan: "???"
It was too normal for these two protagonists to be together, so at first, Xiao Xue didn't pay it any mind.
But slowly, Xiao Xue felt that the atmosphere between the two of them today seemed a bit off.
Is this... a conflict?
Unfortunately, with zero experience in this area, she seemed completely unable to help her Cheap older brother.
After all, as a young lady in her previous life, she didn't actually have the right to free love.
It was more like... a tool cultivated by the Family.
She lived for more than ten years in her previous life without ever having a relationship. After her Coming-of-Age Ceremony, she was sent on blind dates.
Calling it a blind date, it was actually just a commercial marriage alliance. They hadn't even met a few times before the matter was settled.
After that, she inexplicably Transmigrated to the Fighting Qi Continent.
Having grown up in such an environment, she was naturally ignorant about matters of love between men and women.
In the circle they lived in, there were too many marriages where couples were seemingly harmonious but inwardly estranged, each pursuing their own interests.
Because of this, her emotions were relatively indifferent, and she had no experience in this area.
So, Xiao Xue secretly gave her Cheap older brother a look that said, "You're on your own."
Xiao Xue took out the Flying Combat Skill, 'Eagle Wings,' from her storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan, "Brother, this is for you."
(Originally named Eagle Wings, the finished product is Purple Cloud Wings. No problem here.)
She didn't need this Flying Combat Skill, and with the brand poison, Xiao Yi Xian could completely Breakthrough to Dou Ling in a short time.
And when she Breakthroughs to Dou King, capable of Qi transforming into wings, it might only take a year or two, so there's no need for Purple Cloud Wings.
Therefore, she had originally intended to save this item for Xiao Yan.
After tossing the scroll to Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue wanted to slip away.
It wasn't good for her to be so conspicuous and shining here.
However, Xiao Xun Er pulled her back, "Sister Xue'er, where's mine?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xue was slightly stunned, "What?"
"Sister Xue'er, didn't you prepare a gift for Xun'er?" Xiao Xun Er tugged at Xiao Xue's arm, looking at her expectantly.
Xiao Xue: "...?"
She hadn't considered this, after all, as the Eldest Miss of the Gu Clan, Xiao Xun Er certainly lacked nothing.
However, the two of them had grown up together, and since Xun'er had already asked, she naturally couldn't refuse.
"Ali, do you have any pretty little trinkets there?" Xiao Xue asked in her mind.
"Hmm... yes, let me check," Ali responded softly.
A few seconds later, a pink pendant appeared in Xiao Xue's hand.
Hmm, heart-shaped, very consistent with her usual perception of Ali.
When she held this pendant, it wasn't cold; on the contrary, it was warm, similar to human body temperature.
And for some reason, it didn't feel hard when she held it.
Xiao Xue cast a [Detect] on it, obtaining the basic information about the pendant.
[Profound Rank Low-Grade item, has a certain amplification effect on fire-attribute Dou Qi]
Although it wasn't anything particularly good, for a rich young Miss like Xiao Xun Er, the meaning of these gifts far surpassed their value.
So, this item could be considered suitable.
Xiao Xue handed it to Xun'er, "Xun'er, this is for you."
